1. SF are lying to young people on housing as much as they

lie about everything else. There's a big difference between them and the other political parties in the Republic of Ireland, which is the other parties are local to the Republic of Ireland and are concerned about us (for good or ill), whereas SF are only concerned about getting power in order to push for a Border Poll, to get a UI.

They aren't even mentioning that to young people. We have a labour capacity issue wrt housing that is being addressed but can't be properly solved for another 5 to 10 years. SF know this but SF in the Republic takes its orders from the "IRA Army Council" in Belfast.

There's other stuff going on with them too....to be seen to be progressive, they had joined mainstream parties in the Republic to be welcoming to immigrants and refugees. However they've been relentlessly attacked by the racist and anti immigrant base within their own party for straying from the core SF belief of "Irish for the Irish".
